'Click, please': How acceleration of e-commerce is transforming checkout

Consumers seek simple, secure, and seamless ways to pay

Shopping for groceries from your couch. Paying for prescriptions with a tap of a phone. Bypassing shipping fees with a curbside pickup. Mastercard's research shows a massive and sudden move away from cash, and a steep increase in e-commerce.

Changing the way we pay

Worldwide consumer polling tells us that almost 7 in 10 consumers say the shift to digital payments will likely be permanent*

In May alone, U.S. e-commerce spending grew by 93 percent year-over-year**

In the U.S., more money was spent online in April and May than the last 12 Cyber Mondays combined**

CREDENTIAL ON FILE

The digital commerce growth engine

Consumers are increasingly returning to merchants who offer the ability to save credentials on file, offering a more convenient, seamless checkout experience. Merchants benefit from increased customer loyalty and reduced cart abandonment, and issuers have the opportunity to be the default for digital.

Empowering Consumers with Digital-First Experiences

Our mobile phones are our primary devices for communication, information and increasingly, commerce. That’s why, instead of just supporting physical cards with digital experiences, we’re designing digital products from the ground up - cardholders can immediately use their digital cards with a mobile device, and a physical card is optional.

Simple and secure way to manage your money

Samsung, SoFi and Mastercard team up to offer a simple and secure way to manage everyday finances—with a no account fee, higher-interest earning cash management account and debit card within Samsung Pay.

Now more than ever, people are counting on their technology to help them pay, shop, and manage their finances. At the same time, many people prefer payment methods that can earn interest instead of paying it. Samsung Money by SoFi offers the best of both: a no account fees, higher-interest earning, money management experience that combines the convenience of mobile payments and the control of a debit card.
